New Cross homeowners often need practical parking solutions that still look sharp on a Victorian street. We design and build driveways that suit SE14 properties near New Cross station and around Deptford Park. From clean contemporary resin bound to classic block paving, we match materials to your home’s character. Every installation is built for daily use, not just first impressions.
The New Cross area has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with tight front gardens and shared access. We plan layouts that maximise space, improve turning room and keep paths and thresholds safe. If you’re in Deptford, Brockley or Nunhead, we’ll recommend finishes that complement brickwork, railings and period details. Where needed, we also coordinate dropped kerbs to make access legal and convenient.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and clear written specification, then careful excavation and a properly compacted sub-base. We install drainage that meets SuDS requirements, helping reduce surface water issues and keeping your frontage tidy. You’ll get tidy working practices, reliable timelines and transparent updates throughout. Local homeowners choose us because the finish lasts and the details are done properly.
Front access in New Cross can be tight, with on-street parking and narrow approaches, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary, and older terraces may have uneven levels, so we set accurate falls and thresholds before laying finishes. We also factor in Lewisham guidance on permeable surfacing and drainage to help keep your driveway compliant. If you’re near Goldsmiths University, we schedule considerately around busy periods and traffic.

Costs depend on size, access, excavation depth and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel is often £70–£120 per m², tarmac £90–£140 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², and resin bound £130–£220 per m². Natural stone and complex edging can be higher. Drainage, steps, lighting ducts and dropped kerbs are usually priced separately after a survey.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and materials. Resin bound and tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared, while block paving and natural stone take longer due to detailed laying and cutting. Timescales also change with access restrictions, waste removal, drainage requirements and weather. We provide a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules often hinge on drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², the surface should usually be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property rather than the highway. Dropped kerbs need approval and a licensed contractor. We’ll advise on SuDS-compliant options and check any constraints, especially for flats, shared access or conservation considerations.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by base failure, loose edging and installation-related drainage problems. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties (for example, some resin and paving products). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that the driveway isn’t overloaded by heavy commercial vehicles. We’ll explain care and maintenance so your surface stays looking its best.
We install block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, and tarmac for a clean, durable surface. Gravel is a cost-effective option with stabilisation grids, while concrete and natural stone suit both modern and period homes. Design choices include contrasting borders, recessed drainage channels, step detailing and lighting conduits. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, parking needs and maintenance preferences.
